Malone recently held caucus at his res
idence in Petersburg. II there was any
representation in that caucus from this sec
ton of the State other than S. Brown Allen
and w. E. Craig it dies not appear. Is ii
not quite time for self-respecting republi
cans to determine something or somewhat
for themselves?
We would suggest that the self respecting
republicans of Virginia should hold con-
ference elsewhere than in private house
and after due notice-and especially when
but two Office holders, designated or invited
by a creosote-timber combination, repre-.
sented the entire Valley of Virginia.
Now that Malone has given Craig letter,
personal and political, and written by Rid
dleberger, we would suggest with modes
ty not BETTING him, that he send Craig
around with statement, sworn to by Ma
hone, as TO who wrote the entire pamphlet
at Barnum's Hotel. in response to the in
quiries of New York bankers. which PAM
phlet was signed by VIM. Malone.
1t is unnecessary for me to state that Ma
hone never wrote or indicted a word OF the
correspondence between the committees OF
1880. He knows tnat he was instructed to

ing the moral courage to vote against it. II
there exists any doubt solution can be had
by reference to the Virginia journals Of
1872 and the Congressional Record OF
1SS3. T. and tho author of this article will
verify it all in the presence of VIM. Malone
ut any time and place he may designate.
For this thing, called a republican meet
ing in Petersburg, we have no respect, and
we repeat that no sef-respecting re-
publican, and no republicans having
decent respect for his party, can feel
otherwise than that there should be 8

COUNSEL FOR THE SNAKE.
How a Lawyer Refused the Request of a
Prospective Client.

Prospective Client.
The relations between counsel and
client in England are conducted on a
cash basis. A barrister receives his
fee when the brief which is to guide
him in the trial of the case is handed
to him. 1t was said of an able lawyer
who practiced at the New York bar
fifty years ago, that he was always
seized with violent fit of coughing
while client was stating case. If,
however, the client dropped the retain
ing fee into the counsers fidgety left
hand, the spasm instantly subs,ded.
Lawyers sometimes resort to strange
devices in order to avoid taking cases
where the compensation offered is not
as great as they think it should be. A
San Francisco lawyer once found HIM
self in a mining town, where his dissi-
patton left him without money to pay
his bills or to get away. One morning
a man came to the landlord of the hotel
where the lawyer was a guest and said
he needed first-rate lawyer. The
host said that celebrated San Fran
cisco lawyer was staying there, and
showed the prospective client upstairs
to his room. The lawyer was still in
bed, but he listened with pleasure to
the mans story, thinking that fat re-
tainer would set him again on his feet
The case was this A neighbor had a
pet rattlesnake which had escaped
from its cage and bitten the complain
ants horse. The horse died in conse-
quence of the bite. The owner wanted
to prosecute for damages and desired
to employ tirst-class lawyer to bring
suit.
How much, sir, was your horse
worth?" asked the lawyer, wishing to
name fee which should be in proper
ton to the amount claimed.
Give dollars" replied the man.
81 am very sorry that l can't serve
you" said the lawyer, II am retained
for the snake" and he turned over in
the bed, a disguised man. Youths
